William Alexander is more than a Francophile. He wants to be French. There's one small obstacle though: he doesn't speak la langue française. In Flirting with French, Alexander sets out to conquer the language he loves. But will it love him back?

5 stars

I found this book by accident while browsing my library’s selection of kid’s books/textbooks in French and I’m so glad I did! Such a fun and funny read—it felt like I was having a conversation with a friend the whole time. He really captured the humbling experience of learning a new language and how beneficial it is for your brain (and life) in a multitude of ways. One of my favorites this year, and I’ll be checking out his other books as well!
